2018 Platinetti 'Ronco al Maso' Ghemme

From an outstanding vintage in Alto Piemonte which fared far better than their southern neighbours in 2018.

A perennial favourite of ours & one of the most ageworthy nebbiolo wines to be found in Italy.

100% Nebbiolo from the old Ronco al Maso cru in Ghemme. This is from a terraced vineyard with fluvial-glacial soil with sandy and pebbly texture. 

The minimum vine age here is 45 years. The wine is raised in 30 hectolitre Slavonian botti for 36 months.

Winemaker Andrea Fontana has an uncompromising commitment to minimal intervention winemaking from his superb holdings of old vines.  Platinetti are true emerging superstars of Piemonte winemaking.  The Ronco Maso (cru) vineyard produces Ghemme of intense minerality and wonderful perfume.
